Just a little heads up for any other drivers of 'German vehicles of a certain age'.

Ye Olde Audi is making a clonking at the front suspension - might be bushes, might be balljoints. So, I'm replacing both wishbones, all four bushes and both balljoints. Then I know it's all good.
Price of parts from euro car parts here in the uk - £120 inc. delivery. That's for both sides.

Price buying the bits from These People is £62 - again for both sides and including delivery.

Just a little heads up for anyone else who might be interested.

we did a top end re-build/new clutch/new brakes on a fiat coupe turbo,saved £1000 (yes thats 4 0,s or a gorilla if your a londoner) on parts by going to a fiat dealer in italy over some patern/some genuine parts over here

I thought it was a 'bag of sand' for £1,000.

Anyway - the dealers over here are 'having a giraffe' with their prices
